I had a great opportunity on Saturday night to attend a wonderful event in my electorate called Evening Under the Stars, which was at the Soldiers' Memorial Gardens in Unley. It's run by the Unley Road Association. That's all the traders that make up the wonderful Unley Road and give it its vibrancy—the restaurants, retail outlets, supermarkets and cafes. I say a big thank you to all those businesses who are part of the Unley Road Association. Special thanks go to Community Bank Goodwood for sponsoring the night. All funds raised on the night went towards the Jodi Lee Foundation, a very worthwhile cause. It was great to see Nick Lee, the chair of the Jodi Lee Foundation, there on the night.

I had the opportunity to speak to the audience and to wish them all the very best. In attendance, we had Michael Hewitson from the Unley council and all the councillors. Michael Hewitson is an outstanding mayor who supports lots of charities and fundraisers within the City of Unley. It was also a night to think of those wonderful traders who give the Unley its vibrancy, that give Unley Road its special heartbeat. You can find everything from boutiques, retail outlets, wonderful restaurants, cafes. I would urge all members in this place, if you are visiting Unley or Adelaide, please make sure to visit Unley Road to see the great vibrancy it has.

A special thank you must also go out to Stephen Finos— (Time expired)
